MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 TOMMIE REYNOLDS

Let’s go and close-out former outfielder Tommie Reynolds’ eight-year Major League career with a 1973 card, reflecting his lone season with the Milwaukee Brewers, his last as a big leaguer:

Reynolds appeared in 72 games for the Brewers, batting an even .200 with 26 hits over 130 official at-bats while putting in time in the outfield corners, first base and over at third.
It would end up being the capper to his career that began back in 1963 with the Kansas City Athletics, though he missed both the 1966 and 1968 seasons, toiling in the Minors.
By the time he was done, he collected 265 career hits over 1170 at-bats, giving us his career .226 batting average, with a dozen homers and 87 RBIs in 513 MLB games.
Funny enough I also created a 1972 “missing” card for him way back when on the blog, showing how Topps really did seem to forget about him by the early part of the decade.

MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 TOMMIE REYNOLDS

Here's a "missing" 1972 card for Tommie Reynolds, former outfielder for the California Angels:

Reynolds appeared in 45 games during the 1971 season, collecting exactly 100 plate appearances on his way to a .186 batting average with 16 hits in 86 at-bats.

His career spanned eight years playing for the A's (in both Kansas City and Oakland), the Mets, Angels and finally the Brewers in 1972 before calling it a career.

All told he batted .226 for his career, with 265 hits over 1170 at-bats in 513 games.

Funny enough he was actually also omitted from Topps' 1973 set after seeing some decent amount of action for the Brewers, so watch out for my custom in the near future.
